As a LOVER of music I tried to give evryone a "proper" listen. There is NOTHING to Madonna as an artist. N O T H I N G.

It's all production.

Well that's your opinion, i've given up on trying to defend Madonna. I definately am a lover of music and find her to be an artist.

Over the years when ever I strike up a conversation with real musician the few times she has come up, there was respect from the business side but NEVER as an artist. Not once.

well, if this thread is gone off-topic can we discuss something a bit more important then madge?

like underwater basket weaving?

Don't hold your breath

.

quotes from the First Ave '86 show... (this was around the time "What have you done for me lately" had been first released):

(during the jam on "Christopher Tracy's Parade") Prince says: "Jimmy Jam, I don't want to hear any of this on your new record!!"

and then later, he says: "If you hear any of that on Jimmy's next record, you'll know where it came from."

and he also sings the line "what have you done for me lately" at the beginning of "Controversy" during the same show.

I dunno.
